Apparently back in the day of wooden boats and real winters, I would accumulate along the Delaware river and destroy the boats. This is one of several ice breakers designed and built in the mid 1800's to create a safe harbor for the boats.
Panoramic scene taken with the iPhone.
Almost all of the images in this set are taken on the right side of the image and look out to the left over the breakers to Lake Michigan.
At this area of coast, there is a beach along the lake for most of the distance between here and downtown Chicago. The beaches are bordered by a bike and running path. Lake Shore Drive runs parallel to the paths. This particular section does not have a beach, so the paths run along the lake.
Have as good of a Monday as you can!
Circuit Breaker (right) is an evolution of Ryan H's Phasor (left). Built for round 5 of the Starfighter Telephone game.
Advanced alien technology puts delicate mechanics on the outside. While this provides acute sub-wave sensitivity, Circuit Breaker scout ships must rely on their quick maneuverability provided by retractable retro-thrusters, in order to survive forays in hostile space.
Also because of advanced alien technology, Circuit Breaker ships have laser saw fangs instead of any ranged weapons or countermeasures.

The Breakers is a Vanderbilt mansion located on Ochre Point Avenue, Newport, Rhode Island, United States. The building became a National Historic Landmark in 1994 and is a contributing property to the Bellevue Avenue Historic District. It is owned and operated by the Preservation Society of Newport County and is open for visitation on a year-round basis.
The mansion was built as the Newport summer home of Cornelius Vanderbilt II, a member of the wealthy United States Vanderbilt family, in an architectural style based on the Italian Renaissance. It was designed by renowned architect Richard Morris Hunt with interior decoration by Jules Allard and Sons and Ogden Codman, Jr. The 70-room mansion has a gross area of 125,339 square feet (11,644.4 m2) and 62,482 square feet (5,804.8 m2) of living area on five floors, constructed between 1893 and 1895. The Ochre Point Avenue entrance is marked by sculpted iron gates, and the 30-foot-high (9.1 m) walkway gates are part of a 12-foot-high (3.7 m) limestone-and-iron fence that borders the property on all but the ocean side. The footprint of the house covers approximately 1 acre (4,000 m2) of the 14 acres (5.7 ha) estate on the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. (Wikipedia)
I hope that your Monday is serene and full of peace.
Recrop of an older post per a simple, insightful comment from heather. :)
Brendan - it appears that I have deleted the wavebreakers blur. Such a shame, sorry.
On the last day of our 4-day storm-watching trip to Vancouver Island's west coast, a big one finally arrived - prompted by an offshore cyclone. Overcast, heavy rain, and a fierce wind. This was taken from the Wild Pacific Trail, near Amphitrite Point, Ucluelet. Nearly all of the colour images taken appeared as if they were in black & white. Some, like this one, showed only tinges of colour, at best.
Two former Lancaster City Transport Leyland (H33/26R) bodied, Leyland PD2s, cut-down and in use as yard-shunters in a Barnsley breakers yard in c1972.
710 (nearest) carried the registration NTC710, and had been delivered new to LCT in 1951 along with sisters 708 and 709 (NTC708/709). Although unidentified in this image, the second bus has to be either 708 or 709.
All three buses had been withdrawn from use by LCT in August 1971 and later sold for scrap. Seemingly these two enjoyed a brief reprieve in their new role.
I've long referred to buses and trucks used in this capacity in scrap yards as death camp workers, their breaking only delayed by a few weeks or months.
The Mitchell's advert on the sides of the buses was for the long established Mitchell's Brewery of Lancaster, whose history dated back to 1971. The company ceased brewing in 1999, becoming part of PubCo and later the Mitchell Hotel chain. The company finally went into administration in late 2018.
Scanned from a 35mm slide, I would guess that the breakers yard might be that of Joe Sykes, at Blackerhill?
When the Sun cleared the horizon it beautifully backlit the breakers crashing on the rocky beach at Valahnúkamöl, on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula.
Berlin is the best example that walls between people are a very bad thing!

Getting a little fed up of this rain, roll on 2016 and hopefully some decent weather :) Sunset taken at the end of summer on our local beach.
Towering over the local landscape the Locust Summit breaker of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal & Iron Company stands silent. The breaker, built in 1930, was capable of processing 15000 tons in a 24-hour period, and operated for a quarter century before being permanently shut down. The breaker stood for another 47 years until it was demolished in 2002. The complex housed many treasures, including CNJ 0-6-0 113, which worked at the facility from 1953 through 1960, and languished at Locust Summit for another 20 years before being moved to the Wilmington & Western.
Here the breaker is largely intact in 1992. The large shed to the right of the breaker houses dual rotary car dumpers. Why would a facility that loads outbound coal for shipment to customers need rotary car dumpers? The answer lies in the function of an anthracite breaker as a processing plant, and not necessarily as a part of a specific mine. The breaker separated rock from coal, and then sorted the coal into various sizes for shipment to market. The Reading delivered mine-run coal from various mines in the region, and then hauled an equivalent amount of finished product away from the breaker. This is one of only a few on-line industries that received and shipped the same commodity.
